NRS Clearance Explorer Semi-Dry Suit - Mens

While the motivations for paddling adventures in the cold are universal, the gear needs are not.

Overview

While the motivations for paddling adventures in the cold are universal, the gear needs are not.

When temps are less than ideal, rafters and stand-up paddlers can rely on the waterproof-breathable protection of the NRS Men's Explorer Semi-Dry Suit without dealing with a bulky overskirt.

Features

Key Features

• Paddler's Cut™ for an athletic fit.

Measurements in cm

Types of Fit

How to Measure

1. Chest/Bust: With arms down at your sides, measure around the largest part of the chest, generally across the nipples

2. Waist: Measure around natural waistline, allowing tape measure to sit comfortably

3. Head: Measure above brow, around the fullest part of the head

Measurement Tips

• It’s best to have a friend or family member do the measuring
• Use a cloth measuring tape. If you don’t have one, use a cord (or an NRS strap!) and transfer that to a tape measure
• Measure in your street clothes; we size technical outerwear pieces like drysuits and dry tops to include room for layering underneath
• Stand up straight and relax

Suggestions on sizing when your measurements cross into different size categories

• With wetsuits, your weight is the best “tiebreaker” when measurements cross sizes. Remember, wetsuits need to fit snugly to be efficient at excluding water and holding in warmth
• In looser fitting garments like drysuits, splash jackets, etc, look first at the height, then at the weight for a tiebreaker
• Sometimes the best solution is to purchase both sizes and keep the one with the best fit. Our Hassle-Free Returns process is easy and free. If in doubt, come chat to us at the shop
